Personal Traits of the Dead Man.

Speaking of his personal traits, Mr.. John w
Ray said '.He of the most rigid in
tegrity He lived up to all his contracts, and he
expected others to do the same. He kind

fortunes man was quicker to lend assistance
than Mr. DePauw. With him business bus

lieved that business should give way to charity
he put much method in the charity in his
business. He was all his life constant giver of
small sums of money TO the needy. For years
he has been a giver to DePauw University aud
to students who needed money to assist them
through college. These gifts were never made
public. Prior to his large bequest to the college
his gifts to the Institution and students had
amounted to at least $4,000.
He was infinitely above the average man. To
fatter him was to offend him. He always
modest and retiring. L have sat with him for
three days a time on the board of trustees of
the university and never knew him to dictate
how anything should be DONE He was con-
stantly suggesting, but never insisted on having
his own way about anything. 4 think you ought
to do so.' was frequent EXPRESSION of his. but
he never said yon must. He was pleasant,
plain and forcible speaker, and frequently talked
before the board of trustees. The last years of
his life he much wrapped up in the univer-
sity, and the last time l was at his home he

Another phase of his life shown in his
dealings with his thousands of workmen Some
years the New Albany rolling -mill shut

stockholders to let them the mill and he
would resign all profits due him If they would

They refused. and he then offered to do
the same thing and they consented. AT the end
of the first month, when the statement came
in. he looked at it and saw he had lost ST, 600.
Handing it back to the book keeper, he said:

And worshiped Liberty
